Five-Day Online Intensive |
The root cause of all human suffering, misery, aggression, hatred and self-betrayal everywhere is a false belief about what I am. The only solution for this problem is the truth. — John Sherman The reason we meet together, whether physically or in any other format, is to consider together how best to enact the amazing method of living that is self-inquiry and self-seeing; to watch together as the deep, driving conviction that our being is at stake in these lives evaporates in the light of the truth that is the actual reality of what we are, along with the misery that that conviction gives rise to; and to explore together the wonder of human life seen clearly in this light. Meeting with a small group of people over a five-day period, John will be available to listen to your questions, and to help you sort out any difficulties you might experience in your own practice of the method of self-inquiry. John welcomes all with no regard for religious and spiritual beliefs and practices. September 2008 Five-Day Online Intensive

A Worldwide Meeting - July 19, 2008 "The seeing of what I want to communicate is very clear. The effort resides in trying to convey it in words. This is a two-way relationship. As I hear from you, my capacity of communicating this that I see evolves and improves." — John Sherman |

Our work is to teach Ramana Maharshi's insight and method of self-inquiry to all who will receive it. Ramana's insight is that the only problem anywhere to be found is the false belief that you are your life, and the only solution is the truth, which is everywhere and always present and self-evident. Ridding oneself of the false is as easy as repeatedly tasting the truth of being here, unmovingly, unchangingly here. This repeated looking directly at oneself is Ramana's infallible method of self-inquiry. Although our meetings are free of charge, they are certainly not free of cost. The money needed for this work must come entirely from the generosity and compassion of those who, like us, have seen for themselves the immense worth of spreading this good news to all humanity. Please help provide financial support for the work of making Ramana's method of Self Inquiry more widely available in the world by making a donation or a monthly pledge in any amount now. All donations to the River Ganga Foundation are fully tax-deductible. |
